Tuscan Summer at
Glenmere Mansion

We worked with the couple to provide an effortless experience and unforgettable weekend for their guests. Friends and family staying off-property were shuttled in and greeted with champagne upon arrival at the remarkable entrance to the estate. Guests mingled through the manicured gardens down to the hillside ceremony lawn with a view overlooking Glenmere Lake. The couple was wed under the shade of the stately ceremony tree surrounded by lush florals.

Guests meandered to the courtyard of the formal Italian gardens where they enjoyed a sublime grazing station, white-glove passed hors d’ouvres, and custom cocktails. A sketch artist was brought in to create one-of-a-kind illustrations for guests as keepsakes which they loved.

Dinner took place in the pavilion where we incorporated sheer off-white draping around the perimeter to create softness and a more intimate atmosphere while also allowing the natural light to filter in. Neutral garden-inspired table linens were adorned with juicy summer-toned florals that leaned into the season and were layered with delicate floral patterned dinnerware.

We swagged open the draping for guests to enter the other half of the reception space where the band performed and everyone danced the night away. The dancing area was accented with rosy mood lighting and soft seating. The evening was capped off with a Shake Shack food truck that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Inspired by the groom’s Italian heritage, planning a Tuscan-inspired summer wedding weekend at the historic Glenmere Mansion was the perfect decision.
